Wearable Technology Fashion Show
jlouderb writes "I know, it's been done before. But at the recent CTIA show I stumbled onto a wearable computing fashion show. It was weird. I had my camera and filched a copy of the show script. Combined together, you get a bizarre pastiche of scrawny models attempting to make phones, notebooks, video cameras and more into fashion statements. Just too surreal for words."

I'll have you know I've been wearing a VAX since the mid 70s.
Mobile power computing AND a good daily workout.
Beep beep.
A legitimate reason for cameras in shoes, besides for taking upskirt pictures. Technology rules!
Just kidding.
You don't load this page for the article.

This is a great excuse to post a nice slideshow of some hot babes. Great job.
It provides a great break to the workday, right around lunchtime.
Oh, and the new technology is nice too.
It works for me...
Well, Bill, I don't think they will sell any of this stuff by strapping it to 250 pound pasty white geek guys with a bottle of Dew in one hand.

Usually women's fashions require accessories. These require attachements and upgrades. Finally, something to bring geeks and models together!

I, for one, welcome our new, fashionable, overlords! (You saw this one coming)

Are those breast implants or armor plating (blue bikini)???
Now that's wearable technology in action.
I don't know if it's just me, but the first model in the first picture is the only one who looks even half-Borg. What kind of technofashion show is it when the only man-made stuff visible under all that clothing and skin is gonna be the ol' Two of Thirty-Eight? Where's the chrome, dammit?
When I clicked on the link, I'd kinda hoped for something a little more like a wearable technology fashion show. (Ummm, and yes, we do need more women in Engineering.)
Motion to change venue to Fark and let the Photoshoppers have at it. All in favor?
Sub-etheric vibrations? Ectoplasmic vibrations? Good vibrations?
Danke tres mucho, tovarishch.
That could be potentially embarrassing, no?
That redhead certainly gets me glowing.

If you think the pics look funny now, just wait 50 years. It will be the equivalent of a 60's mod girl with a reel to reel strapped to her ass.
It is getting worse isn't it....
Was walking to work the other day and heard
a sexy female voice behind me say "Hi, how are you?" (she had such a nice voice too).
I turned to look at her, she looked at me
I said, "Not bad, you?"
Then I notice the bloody cell phone & ear piece
She walks off , giggling & telling other person
all about it.
Bugger
I now HATE those damned things
Help! help!, the termites are eating my DRAM!!!
If Microsoft gets involved, would some poor woman show up at an event only to discover the gizmo attached to her dress has malfunctioned and she's wearing a Blue Skirt Of Death?
